Banking Error Affects Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming Members

On Dec. 4, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming (BCBSWY) announced that some members may have been impacted by a bank processing error that resulted in duplicate withdrawals from their banking accounts for automatic premium payments.

ANB Bank in Cheyenne erroneously reprocessed a single batch file of members’ monthly premium payments to Blue Cross Blue Shield multiple times. According to BCBSWY, fewer than 10 percent of their members have been affected by this error.
